Capo San Marco — Ring tour

At some places bushes overgrow the path. I suggest to wear the long trouses.

beautiful route with great views refreshing breeze and small beeches

Sardinia 😍 ... Many years ago, we were in the north of this beautiful island. We're back, and this time we're traveling along the west coast. We've already completed our first exploration 👀 of our holiday resort, a walk on the beach 👣, and two hikes (one beautiful 😊, the other not so great 🙅‍♀️). The weather yesterday 👉 was wet 💦. Okay, then we'll just read 📖, plan the next tours 🗺, and play games 🎲🃏. After all, we're prepared for such unpleasant "incidents" 😉 ... But today we're off again 🥾🥾, even though the weather is still forecast to be mixed 🌧☁️. The port city of Tharros, whose ruins 🏛 we visit, was built on the narrow peninsula of Capo San Marco in the 8th century BC. Afterwards, we walk around Capo San Marco near the coast on paths that are sometimes very narrow. We are completely alone; it's windy, but the air is warm. Dark clouds accompany us, but keep their raindrops to themselves 👍, so we stay dry 🙂🙃 ... A truly beautiful combination of a bit of history and lots of nature with magnificent views 😃 ...

11/18/24 I also wanted to see the peninsula. There were supposed to be so many archaeological highlights there. Unfortunately, the ones that were fenced off were closed. But there was enough to see anyway. As you can see in the pictures, the tower is very centrally located and can be seen from everywhere. We then went to the bird watching station (looked like a bunker) and to the lighthouse in the very south. It was actually a military restricted area. It was particularly exciting to go back along the coast to the archaeological sites. At first the path was clearly visible but then it got more and more lost in the undergrowth. The directions from Mapy.cz on my cell phone always helped me as a reference. At some point I lost the way and had to take the main path. The whole thing developed into a climbing party high above steeply descending terrain. You also had to be careful not to fall into any crack or hole, sometimes natural caves, then prehistoric ruins that had been carved into the rock, or some military bunker from the recent past. What was particularly treacherous was that the ground was often overgrown with bushes, so that you couldn't see the actual ground at all. So I had to feel my way slowly and carefully to get back to safe paths. The large tower itself was already high up, so you had another overview of the whole peninsula. But you couldn't get in or even up. A look from the base had to be enough. Then we went back, and luckily we had a delicious lunch in the only restaurant open there before we continued north by car. Didn't see "everything" but it was still a very nice and exciting hike. 👍
